A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with soft corners and broad, uniform strokes. Counters are generally small and often squarish, giving the letters a compact, ink-trap-free, posterlike density. Curved forms (C, O, S) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a stable, monoline structure. Terminals are blunt and rounded, with a slightly condensed feel in some shapes; the lowercase includes single-storey forms and tightly enclosed bowls, producing a cohesive, bold texture in text.
Best suited to display use where impact matters: headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short calls-to-action on packaging or social graphics, especially when given ample spacing and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners and an assertive presence from the dense weight. It suggests a retro display sensibility—approachable and fun—while still feeling sturdy and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a soft-edged, approachable silhouette. By combining rounded, superelliptical geometry with compact counters, it aims for high visibility and a distinctive, friendly display voice.
In running text the tight counters and close interior spaces create a dark, cohesive color that rewards generous tracking and larger sizes. Numerals are similarly blocky and rounded, matching the headline-ready rhythm of the letters.
